One of the benefits of the nationwide lockdown lifting and businesses being permitted to reopen is that you can continue to explore your property investment options. Like many industries, the real estate sector ground to halt during lockdown and quarantine, with companies unable to allow viewings, and with buyers, sellers, and even renters feeling apprehensive about moving properties.
But now, there’s a chance to get the industry back on its feet. Whether you’re an experienced property developer or someone who has had to put their early ventures on hold for the past few months, now is your chance to get back to it. However, as coronavirus is still present, viewings, valuations, and appointments will not be the same as you remember.
These changes will be similar to what you have experienced over the past few months at supermarkets and other shops, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to make adjustments. They have been designed to limit the spread of the virus and minimise contact between staff and clients, and include the use of face masks or coverings, appointment-only meetings in the office, and regular hand sanitising. There will also be no open-house or back-to-back viewings, to allow the agent to sufficiently clean the home before the next client arrives.
Real estate agency Mansell McTaggart has created a clear outline of what clients, homeowners, buyers, and staff members should expect from the new changes to the industry. Their team has created an infographic which you can view below that gives a concise but clear overview of the procedures that will be in place for people seeking to sell, buy, or receive valuations on property.
